Really, this game is addictive - especially with cute Sims.
Well I've filled up the neighbourhood that I have my FF sims living in. There's a few households that aren't FF sims but the FF ones outnumber them.
I use the term "family" only in the loosest sense as these are the people I put together from the start. I wouldn't be surprised if I dumped some very unlikely people together since I know jack-all about FF8.
Going by House number:
(1) SeeD
This household has Edea and Seifer in it.
The house was a pre-existing one - one of the game-given houses. It's a big gothic kind of place. I had to make a few minor changes - extra lighting, a change of stove (to a microwave - I know from past playing that it's safest to give new sims a microwave because they'll set fire to the kitchen and themselves with a stove) and a few extra entertainments.
(2) Pleiades
This is one of my old sim bunnies - the Pleiades in Sims. The family has eight members (the max as far as I can tell) - one male, six adult females and one female child - all of them named after the Pleiades stars.
I have yet to build their house, that's fun, working out how to arrange eight beds.
(3) Hubbard
Another original bunny - Old Mother Hubbard. This is really a test at the moment, previous times I've tried it the game's crashed on me - I don't think it can handle seven children at once. As it is this version only has four kids in it in hopes it doesn't crash on me.
I was building a house for this one but just as I was saving the game crashed so I expect I will have to start over.

novastrike's references I went chasing down some more FF7 skins and got a few extras. I gained a couple of versions of Tifa and ended up reorganising a couple of families to fit her in - namely I remade the Gainsborough family so I could shift Barrett into sharing a house with Tifa and Marlene.
(5) Valentine
The only changes I made here were relatively minor, I got ahold of an AC skin for Cloud and traded his SOLDIER uniform for the outfit from AC. Zack may not have come to visit yet but I like the idea of them not wearing exactly the same thing.
I also grabbed an object - Squall's gunblade. It's a wall item - like a picture or a wall light but it feels apropriate having it hanging on his bedroom wall.
So far of all my sims the first friendship has been established within this household - Sephiroth and Squall get on pretty well.
(6) Adraan
Rather generic, this one is. One random-made man, one random-made woman.
(7) Garden
Irvine and Zell. They're in a premade house that I've furnished but I haven't played them yet. I have had Irvine come over to Seph, Cloud and Squall's house though.
(8) Turk
Elena, Reno, Rude and Rufus.
Okay, so Nova said the only Turk skins s/he'd found weren't very good but compared to a couple of the TIfa ones I got the ones I have aren't too bad (yeesh! I think whoever made the Tifa ones was trying too hard to get it looking like the original FF7 graphics!) - they look human at least. Reno's hair is too bright but until I can find a better one I can live with it.
And yeah, I know Rufus ain't a Turk but meh, where else would I put him?
I haven't gotten around to building them a house yet - there was a bit of real estate resorting to give larger families bigger blocks and all and I think the Turks ended up across the road from Seph, Cloud and Squall.
(9) Gainsborough
Okay, with the restructuring when I got Tifa I had to remake this family so it's down now to just Aeris and Zack.
I have yet to build them a new house - I knocked down the old one and they're on a different block now.
(10) Heartly
Riona, Quistis and Selphie.
I think they have a house (lovely memory I have) but I have yet to play them. Honestly, I get far more facinated with the Valentine house and never get around to some of the others.

no subject
But the Shin-Ra house is amusing. XD
>>; It's Vincent who's a little man-pimp with his AMBULANCE job.
Safer thasn Hojo with a science job. >_>
As for Vinny skin, I'd have to pry it completely out of my skins folder (Which is pretty damn big). See if Anyone has the Sim Sketches version of Vinny....
And, GOD, see if you can find someone who will send you Lurken's Turks. Their like.. RARE.
